Nicolaas Maritz has won the 2019 Exclusive Books IBBY SA Illustrator Award for his gloriously exuberant picture book, South African Animal Portraits - an A- Z.

The timing couldn’t be better - there will be a launch of the book at Clarke’s Bookshop, on Long Street, Cape Town, at 13h00 on Saturday 9 November. Copies of the book and framed prints of the artworks will be on sale.

There is an additional launch on 16 November at The Book League in the West Coast town of Darling. Please join us at 11h00 to celebrate the release of this quirky, and very unique book.
